It is not hard to tell which journals depend on advertising revenue.
Just open their pages.  Science and Nature come out on top, of course.
Many others probably would not mind having some advertising, but for two
or three thousand known subscribers, It is not worth the money for most
companies.

Frankfurt Book Fair in order to see the Hieronymous Bosch exhibit.
Global Internet access is certainly a marvelous convenience.

The only problem is that this keyboard translates all apostrophes as the
letter I by the time to gets to the US,which is why I am not using any.
